Intellectual functioning among case‐matched cohorts of children treated with proton or photon radiation for standard‐risk medulloblastoma

Abstract

Proton therapy may reduce cognitive deficits after radiotherapy among brain tumor survivors, although current data are limited to retrospective comparisons between historical cohorts. The authors compared intelligence quotient scores within a case‐matched cohort of children with medulloblastoma treated with proton radiation (PRT) or photon radiation (XRT) over the same time period.
